Residents of the Federal Capital Territory have been asked to expect even more infrastructural development in the year 2025.

He also thanked the residents of the FCT saying “ I also want to thank all Nigerians particularly those who reside in Abuja, carrying on with their businesses. I want to tell them that this year, 2025 will see more development, more infrastructure and that is what is important for us.
